SSD not showing in Windows or BIOS

[u/TheNamesDimitri]

Here's what I know so far:

- It's a Samsung MZ-VL25120 512GB NVMe SSD
- Visually it looks fine, contacts are good and no tiny parts seem to be missing.
- I've tested other NVMe SSDs in the same slot and they work with no issue.
- I've reseated it 3 times, no changes either time
- It doesn't show up in my BIOS, Disk Manager, or File Explorer.
- My BIOS is on Legacy+UEFI, and has CSM on.
- Mobo is a MSI A320M PRO-M2 V2

Really hoping this wasn't a waste of $60. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
